Chained Echoes December 8 (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Game Pass, Switch, and PC via Steam and GOG)

Finished it. Game was pretty easy except for some of the sky armor fights when you are underpowered. Agility buffs are super OP late game.

Not sure why they are setting up for a sequel when it is going to take dude 7 years to make it.

Man as a Chrono Trigger stan I am loving this game.

Just constantly reminds me of Chrono Trigger and FF6.

Best bet is steam, PS5 or Xbox. I had zero problems on series x

I put like 66 hours into this game. Totally worth playing.

I remember my friend told me it runs pretty well on the switch. So, if you like handheld gaming, then it might be best to get on switch.

The game is one of the best recent RPGs imo.

Game is overrated, but despite that, it's a decent game.

Battle system needs to be tweaked on the sequel. Dialogue was laughably bad, the script tried to copy Final Fantasy Tactics political intrigue angle but failed. The non-binary, 'anybody can be anything' moral was stupid and nonsensical. The story WAS decent for the most part if you ignore the aforementioned. Hated the ending too. It was a nice throwback down memory lane, but other than being a clone, it doesn't really have much going for it. Sea of Stars will be the better Chrono Trigger clone when it drops IMO.

Gaddamn I'm having such a blast. Since I saw a trailer in a @The Mad Titan thread I had my eye on it and 15 hours in I'm getting more and more moments. God bless this game.

Enjoy breh, it's in my top 10 JRPG game list, and that's a hard list to crack.

This game did some pretty interesting things with the plot but that damn meter you had to keep in range drove me crazy. The end game bosses were brutal too.

So far I like it, it gives the encounters a particular rhythm I have to pay attention to.

I figured out only halfway through my 15 hours that there was always a type of attack that could reign me in backwards on the meter (adding to the defensive option, the switch option and the turbo option that all decrease the bar).

Forces me to adapt and plan my attack cycles more carefully instead. It makes the game more dynamic imo, even though tbf you get pretty quickly in the overheat zone. I don't know yet what the math is but I noticed that some moves push you on the bar quicker than others.
